Hello Friends,
Grey skies and only light breezes around this morning. The long slow decline of the SE swell continues. There were fewer people in the water at Dee Why as a result. The point was empty and the only keen punters were on that peak north of the club. After a long wait, I finally got a picture of someone on a wave. It was a brief affair, but glassy and kinda fun looking in a quiet sort of way.
We’re in for a cloudy morning with the odd shower or two. Swell is luffing along at around 1.5 metres with an average period of 9 seconds. So you should be able to find a little something at exposed stretches if you’re extra keen.
This morning’s run of the swell forecast models suggests we’ll have a little something through tomorrow, but next week’s not looking all that encouraging from here.
Go well with your Friday!
TIDES: L @1040 and H @1700
